Inaugural Lectures at the Med School (U of Auckland)

When faculty members at the University of Auckland become Professors, they are asked to step out of their ‘nerd shoes’ and give an “Inaugural Lecture”.

If you are at all interested in science, these are great public talks. Not only do the newly-appointed professors put their work in the broader context of health and their scientific discipline but, in many cases, also talk about their scientific trajectory exemplifying how scientific careers are made.
